Quincy High School represented for its first time at the 9th annual Robot Challenge in Zillah on Saturday, December 1. Twenty QHS students, sponsored by our 21st Century program, competed against hundreds of other students from around Central and Eastern Washington. Our students prepared after school for six weeks with QHS Science teacher Mr. Stagg by designing and building the robot mechanics, circuits, and programs from scratch.

Congratulations to former QHS Wrestling Head Coach Manny Ybarra who was inducted into the Washington State Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame on October 27. Coach Ybarra was employed as a wrestling coach at QHS from 1983 through 2009 and was a strong and effective leader in the program. He continues to support and assist in our school and community programs. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for his positive contribution as a coach over the years.

Our district participated in the Washington State 2012 Healthy Youth Survey during the week of October 15th – 19th.
The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance abuse, risk and protective factors, access to school-based services, and sexual behaviors. Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce risks.
The Healthy Youth Survey is given to students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 across Washington State.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous.
Please read the Parent and Student Notification flyer for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.

We are pleased to announce that Marcia Hershaw has accepted the position of Assistant Principal at Monument Elementary School beginning with the 2012-2013 school year. Mrs. Hershaw and her husband are moving to Quincy from Washougal, Washington where she completed her administrative internship and has worked as a teacher at both the elementary and middle school levels since 2005. Prior to that, she also taught at the elementary and junior high levels in Moscow, Idaho. We are excited that Mrs. Hershaw is joining our staff, and we welcome her to Quincy!
The School Board has approved a modification to the school calendar for the 2012-2013 school year that adds three early release days. Students will be dismissed early (same time as other early release days) on Thursday, October 11, Friday, February 15, and Friday, May 24. These dates were selected because they each precede either a day of no school or a school holiday weekend. We hope this will allow parents, students and staff to take advantage of extended school or holiday breaks if they choose. These changes were made to help address the salary cut to teachers that was passed on to all school districts by the Washington State Legislature again this year. The revised calendar can be accessed by clicking on the following link:
